Dash(-) in song title or artist #1

Due to the website used in the GET request for the lyrics and their complete lack of consistency in naming their html pages using dashes, having dashes in the title of the song or artist trips the script up and fetches no lyrics.

Returns "No song found", which is suboptimal to be frank.

Guess we won't be reading Playboi Carti's lyrics. bad_bad_website

Playboi Carti's name has been hardcoded. I couldn't find any pattern regarding dashes in artist names, so we'll roll with this for now.

Issue resolved by ditching azlyrics as a source and using Google's smart lyric boxes instead
